WATCH: Bradford Hits Rudolph For 20-Yard TD

By Rahul Lal

Kyle Rudolph, one of the more dependable tight ends in football, showed exactly why he is so trusted by his quarterback late in the second quarter Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins. Watch below as Rudolph hauls in a 20 yard pass to force his way into the endzone to tie the game up with less than a minute left in the first half.

Both the Redskins (4-3) and Vikings (5-3) are entrenched in this competitive game as both teams are looking to solidify themselves while in the playoff hunt. The Vikings started off as the NFL's hottest team with offseason acquisition Sam Bradford looking like he could do no wrong but they have now come back to earth.

Rudolph has connected with Bradford three times for 53 yards and a touchdown already and will look to work with his quarterback. Early in the third quarter, the Vikings hold a 20-17 lead.
